I say this to Morgan Talty as the highest praise, this novel is so bleak. If bleak was the sound of nails scratching on a chalkboard my ears are raw from it. (Great first paragraph, by the way, without it would not have made it through the novel). I' ...more | |

First novel?? Bravo! Once again a geographic triumph as I could feel the sea spray coming off the sad Massachusetts town of Nashquitten. Told in ten voices, in in parts pre- and post- (tragedy) this novel didn't remind me of any other work. I found e ...more | |

Dear J. Courtney, I kept thinking, where is the editor who should be telling you that some of this material belongs in its own book? We've got the troubled childhood, alcoholism, dead mother, not close sister, nephew, dog, best friend, privileged whi ...more | |
